Lauren

The worst part about Iowa State is when teachers have tests during VEISHA.

Hannah

It's really hard to find a flaw in my school, but if I had to choose one it would be the parking division. As a freshmen, it was really hard to secure a spot in the dorm lots. I had to park in the stadium, forever away. I would park my car at drop off zones or staff parking for a brief period of time to grab something from my room and come back to tickets. The parking division hands out tickets left and right. I had a total of close to 20 by the end of this year.

I realize that this isn't specific to any one school, but there are distractions, so many distractions. These can be fun, but they can be harmful too because you can get caught up in all your friends you're making, clubs you're in and anything else, but you can lose track of the reason you are where you are: school. Many people have an issue with this, and having a reasonable work ethic and it detracts from your ability to deal with class, and then once you fall behind it's hard to catch up.

The worst part aout my school is that sometimes you classes can be really spread out on campus, but there is a bus system that is free to students that helps make it easier to get to class.
